He should start with releasing copies of all of his personal records that he sealed by executive order after walking down Pennsylvania Ave. in D.C. in 2009 as the titular President. Today, I talked with a woman who does not use the internet----she was singing the praises of the newspapers in Washington in keeping her informed. She read the Washington Post and she reads the Washington Times-----as we talked I mentioned information that appears on the internet. She knew little about Obama's background----she had heard about ACORN but not before the election---she is just now reading about Obama and his following the Alinsky principles of organization and control---and is appalled. She ask why this wasn't in the mainstream media during his campaign. Why, because the mainstream media wouldn't touch it. This was buried on the internet--------for people who don't use the net-----radio, television and newspapers are their source. If the information and questions are not published in those media it doesn't get to them. Unless newspapers get the same info as we get on the internet there cannot be transparency. Yet Obama praises the net for transparency. Really now? As we witnessed during the campaigns, the net was full of lies and distortions and continues to be. Why should we believe that Obama's handling of information on the net is any better. "In a new statement Tuesday, Obama noted the release of White House visitor logs and federal data online in recent months said his administration was recommitted "to be the most open and transparent ever." "We are proud of these accomplishments, but our work is not done," Obama said. "We will continue to work toward an unmatched level of transparency, participation and accountability across the entire administration."" Obama has rarely practiced transparency--------this is a man who did not keep his State Senate Records in Illinois. There were no records to search as he noted during his campaign.
